All Chapters of The Day I Kissed An Older Man: Chapter 1931 - Chapter 1940

Melody felt disgusted with herself at the thought of being defiled by William. Filled with anger, all she wanted was to get out of there and find out what Ethan and Helen were really up to.However, the bathroom door swung open just when she reached the hotel room door."What's the matter? Are you thinking of running away right after waking up?" a familiar voice froze Melody in her tracks. She turned to find…a shirtless Lucas."Ah!" Melody screamed and covered her eyes shyly. "What... What are you doing here?!""Who were you hoping to find here?" Lucas asked.Melody was wearing Lucas' white shirt, and her slender legs captivated his gaze. He furrowed his brows slightly, and his Adam's apple involuntarily bobbed.Melody was made uncomfortable by the way Lucas was staring at her. She awkwardly moved to the side and picked up the blanket to cover her legs."Um, I couldn't find my clothes, so I just grabbed something to wear. Is this your shirt?""Yeah. Whose shirt do you think it

Melody nodded with a bitter smile. "When I got to the club, they said they were stuck in traffic and asked me to go in first. I know my mom favors my sister, but I never expected her to put me in harm's way. I guess I was just too naive. They planned from the beginning to offer me to William like some sacrificial lamb."Lucas narrowed his eyes. At this moment, he pitied Melody.He could not fathom what kind of parents would plot against their own daughter, treating her as a sacrifice to an older man for the sake of her sister.'If that's the case, the night when we first met... Was she also manipulated by her family? Is she just an object that can be passed on from one man to another in her parents' eyes?' wondered Lucas.After a long silence, Lucas finally said, "If you need, I can accompany you back to your family's home. I'm sure they pull a stunt like this anymore once they know you're married to a Rivera."Melody looked up at Lucas in surprise. She only wanted to clear up the

It was clear that scolding Melody was not the immediate concern; Wendy's face mattered more.After Wendy headed to the kitchen, Helen yanked Melody up from the sofa."Melody, how can you be so heartless? I told you to make Mister William happy, but you come back and hit Wendy instead? Do you know how crucial Wendy's appearance is? It's her livelihood!" lectured Helen.Melody glared at Helen.Despite being her biological mother, Helen poured all her motherly love into Wendy, who was not even related by blood, leaving all grievances for Melody to bear.Thus, Helen did not deserve to be her mother at all."What does her appearance have to do with me?" Melody forcefully pushed away Helen's hand, sneering. "Her career is none of my concern. If she wants success in the entertainment industry, she can fight for resources on her own. Why should I sacrifice myself for her?"Helen did not expect Melody to rebut her like this. After a moment of stunned silence, she reached out to slap some

Lucas could not fathom parents like Ethan and Helen existing in the world.Despite having both parents alive, Melody had not received an ounce of their love. She was even used as Wendy's sacrificial lamb. It was both pitiful and tragic."Do you really think handing them three million dollars today will make them keep their promise and leave you alone? From what you've told me, they'll probably latch onto you even tighter once they know they can get money from you!"Lucas's warning left Melody stunned.'Lucas is right. I'm giving them the three million dollars hoping to put an end to everything, but considering their nature… They'll latch on to me even tighter,' thought Melody.After all, the Sanders were insatiable. Once they found out she could provide money, they would surely treat her like a bottomless ATM."I've got something to do. Edmund will get in touch with you later," Lucas stated before hanging up.'Uh... So is he giving me the money?' Melody thought to herself somewh

Edmund nodded. "Yes. Mister Lucas has been invited to a banquet tonight, and he needs you to go with him. Are you able to make it?"Melody nodded. "Of course. That's what I should do."After all, being by Lucas' side meant shielding him from unnecessary troubles. As long as Lucas needed her, she would cooperate with him in attending these events for a year."Sit tight, Miss Melody. We need to make a stop somewhere before going to the banquet."Edmund sped up the car and brought Melody to a high-end styling studio."This studio is a partner of our company, and they've styled many A-listers for the red carpet. You can trust them to make you look stunning. Let them doll you up a bit.""Alright..." Melody rarely wore makeup, but she knew that as Lucas' wife, she represented the image of the Rivera family. She had to dress up accordingly.Melody followed Edmund inside. It was her first time in such a styling studio, and everything seemed a bit extravagant for her.At that moment, Ze
